A very cool concept. Love how you used the myth of Sisyphus to show gamer motivation and engagement. Second mountain was overwhelming frustrating and third was a cool challenge, but nothing happened when I got the boulder to the top of the mountain

pretty cool, but also rather tedious, but that's kinda the point ofcourse :sweat_smile: Good job!
Very fun, reminds me of a comic I read once. https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2014-02-05
Push the stone to the bottom of the third mountain, where there is no grass, there will be an extra short story. @justking144

In fact, I was inspired by this comic @wizard-sino

I liked it. Although stage 2 can rot in Tartarus, no offense to you
It seems that the stage2 experience is not very good, Sisyphus can try to detect the trap before pushing the stone.
Kinda pointless, but thats the point (Me and my terrible puns).
I think I maybe got stuck since I thought I got to the top but nothing seemed to happen for me. You've done a really good job of emulating the frustration and tedium of the story, which doesn't make a fun game but is really interesting to play and think about. It's an interesting and meaningful gameplay experience which I'm really glad I had. Really interesting take on the story, and feels really unique. I'd love some more story included to give some more in-game text to expand on your game's ideas. Thanks for creating this, I'm glad I played!
